I can’t believe January is almost over, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and managed to take some time off to relax! If you haven’t seen it yet don’t forget to sign up for the festive un-party next week, I think its going to be an awesome event and a great start to 2014.

Here is a list of a few other community events happening in London over the next two weeks that you may well be interested in attending.

Tuesday 21st January 2014Software Craftsmanship Round Table
This is our monthly software craftsmanship round table to discuss technology, practices or whatever else takes our fancy.
If you’re using some new technology you think others would be interested in, if you’ve got a design or some code you’d like to discuss, if you’d like to discuss a specific practice, a problem you are having at work or you’d simply like to see what others have got to say – come along and join in the debate.

Thursday 23rd January 2014Java vs C++, which is faster
All Java communications rely on TCP/IP, trading off portability in exchange for performance. But performance, both low latency and throughput, is key in the actual context of exponential increase in the amount of network-based computational resources, distributed applications, massive online services and enormous amounts of data. This talk will cover several efforts carried out during the last years in optimizing Java communications, which have succeeded in overtaking even natively-compiled applications (C++). People concerned about the efficiency, performance and scalability of Java distributed applications will enjoy joining the discussion.London Java Communityhttp://www.meetup.com/Londonjavacommunity/events/156239102/

Thursday 23rd January 2014In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm – Raft
This algorithm is similar to Paxos (consensus algorithm), which we have not yet touched, but as Lamport’s Paxos is a classic, let’s give Raft a shot right away 🙂
Raft claims to be simpler than Paxos, which while “well known” isn’t very simple. In a recent google talk they also noted that what they’ve referred to as “their paxos impl” is basically raft….Paper Cup – The Reading Clubhttp://www.meetup.com/Paper-Cup/events/153170202/
